"i have a fire in my pants, can you come put it out?"

that is my new favorite line from jen schefft of the new bachelorette show. how i love that show now.. and i how i love jen schefft. can i be her? just for a day? hhaha.. well.. i would have preferred during the andrew firestone days.. but seriously.. how cute were they and how cute is she? i really like some of the guys though.. my early favorites are ben and mike.. and jerry because he's cute.. but he's so that guy. :P it was also really sad that this one guy fainted during the rose ceremony. he's a fairly decent looking guy... a little quirky looking around the eyes.. maybe they're really deep set or something. but i bet he's used to getting a lot of ladies. but the camera man (and editor) kept showing close ups of his face and making him seem really nervous. and then he fainted.. probably because he locked his knees.. or just stopped breathing or something.. but man.. you felt so bad for him. and you would think maybe jen would feel bad for him and pick him instead of the horny french guy fabrice or the scary stalker fan stu. but she didn't... it's okay.. i doubt she would have ended up with him. there were a lot of guys from LA and san diego.. like close to me too.. manhattan beach.. etc etc. and i'm all "where are these 'wonderful' guys around here?" but then again i don't look like jen schefft. there's also this surfer guy keith.. who her friends (decoyed as spies) picked as their "first impression rose" and he's totally the surfer guy from encinitas. and he totally looks it to.. i can't really explain.. but his face is just... so.. san diego :P. anyways..i totally gushed when they showed the preview of this season.. i'm such a nerd!

but you know.. girls are all the same.. or maybe it's just the mindset we're all in right now. but everywhere i go.. at work, at the mall, at the gym... people are ALL talking about weightloss.. it is the new fad. or is it here to stay? i mean.. losing weight has always "been in" but now it's just crazy obsessive. at work these girls are always talking about it.. and at the gym these girls were talking about their "points" .. "oh did you use your flex points? did you know you get points for working out? oh you shouldn't have told me that so i would think that i didn't have that many points! i had a zone bar and it was SIX POINTS.. can you believe that?" i think it's funny that we are totally consumed with it.. which is good because i also noticed that kids are a lot heavier today than they used to be.. and hopefully that's not the trend of the future. and really.. i can't complain because i'm totally like that sometimes. but where as i just thought it was me, but it's not, it's everyone! and how everyone is so forward about it. it's almost like josie and the pussycats brainwashing how everyone is points this, personal trainer that, low carb everything.. blah blah blah... losing weight is the new pink.

*although i overheard this lady (talking about how she lost weight in australia because she walked everywhere despite eating italian food everyday).. saying that she tried low carb pasta... and how it tasted like cardboard... i can only imagine :P

speaking of which.. the biggest loser finale is on tonight!! i want to see what the people look like... that guy chris lost a LOT of weight.. so i guess he "deserves" to be the biggest loser.. but are they going to do it on pure weightloss? i mean.. it's kind of unfair to do half of it by voting people off, and then the rest by weightloss. i say they do it survivor style and have the old people come back and vote for who "deserves" it the most. and next week is the reunion where you get to see all the people. would you go on that show? is a possible $250,000 and weight worth lots of public humiliation and your flab exposed to the world? but i guess if you actually make it to the end and you lose all the weight, then you're not really embarassed anymore and you can laugh about it. plus you get all those free clothes :P
